Iβll allow it, but ed is the standard editor.
They have pills for that
Not far from the original start of the text editor I wrote in fish, as just a wrapper around similar commands.
fin (tech post) | fin (fish crosspost) | fin (codeberg) | fin (initial commit) | fin (branches) | fin (issues) | fin (video, lol), yt | fin (fun sizes comparison)
What kind of a noob writes their own text editor in fish?
PS, yet to add butterfly mode.
Honest question, what the fuck is that font in the screenshot?
https://codeberg.org/Digit/fin/raw/branch/main/finsfirstscreenshot.png
I've seen fonts made for dyslexics, but whatever you are using is barely legible and I am curious why you use that font.
LOL. I forgot... that nearly always gets picked up on, and I should have pre-countered the comments.
It's nztt, from my big tiny font collection (of tiny fonts I made).
It [nztt] works for my dyslexia, and for maximising/optimising vertical space (more rows on screen at once). It [nztt] has been my go-to font for near a decade since I made it.
It [nztt] seems to strongly split opinion. Sometimes it gets superlative praise, other times it gets baulked at.
Maybe next screenshot, I'll st -f "Fira Code:size=20:antialias=true:autohint=true" or something. Probably should... to not distract from fin.
[ ... Afterthought... Or maybe I'll go the other way, and pick one of my other fonts... maybe even go straight to the extreme... "bf". LOL. Maximally shrunk pixel font. Merely decipherable, not really readable.]
bro isn't using butterfly to flip bits?
It's like this meme was made for me. GET OUT OF MY HEAD, ANON.
there was some kind of critical vulnerability recently found in noteepad++ relating to its update system. You better download installer from the official site ASAP
Anyway
CLI modal editing rulz
Slight correction: Someone (likely a state actor, or just some very leet larpers) got into the hosting infrastructure that NP++ uses, and compromised the downloaded program. We mostly have the NP++ guy's word for it, so take it with a grain of salt, but if he does not make things up, that is something that can happen with basically all software, there is not much that he can do against it (except maybe find a better hosting company).
Oh, I use vim, I don't run an OS that can run Notepad++ natively. I meant using HEREDOCs as the responding anon suggested. I've absolutely done that on systems that lack a text editor.
ah, my bad then
There was just a vuln found for fucking Notepad.exe lol, things are so fucky.
The only time I use heredocs is when I accidentally use heredocs and have a bit of a flail around before hitting ctrl+c
Notepad++ would have been so amazing on Linux. With direct filesystem access, not via Wine.
I've been using Notepadqq as a Linux replacement, since it's essentially a drop-in native clone.
I tried it, most functionality is there but the look and feel would take some getting used to...
That is one option. I myself use VSCodium (vim mode <3) for all my text editing; if you want to avoid that, there is also Kate.
